Piezometer a is located 3000 feet due south of piezometer b


Three piezometers measure water levels (piezometric heads) in a confined aquifer. Piezometer A is located 3000 feet due south of piezometer B. Piezometer C is located 2000 feet due west of piezometer B. The surface elevations of A, B and C are 480, 610 and 545 feet respectively. The depth to water in A is 40 feet, in B is 140 feet and C is 85 feet. Determine the direction and magnitude of (i) hydraulic gradient (ii) groundwater flow
